SB 673 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Economic development: other; Michigan freedom trail commission act; amend to reflect elimination of the Michigan strategic fund. Amends secs. 2 & 3 of 1998 PA 409 (MCL 399.82 & 399.83). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0631'25

SB 673 updates the Michigan Freedom Trail Commission Act by removing references to the eliminated Michigan Strategic Fund and clarifying the commission's structure. It defines key terms (like "Department" as the Department of History, Arts, and Libraries), specifies the commission's 14-member composition (including 9 gubernatorial appointees with expertise in African-American history, civil rights, and preservation), and outlines appointment processes and meeting requirements. The bill affects the existing commission members and its administrative oversight under the Department, ensuring alignment with current state agency structures. It is contingent on the passage of companion bill SB 631.
